You need to show your code

Sounds like your missing parts of an if-statement in the edit action

@kalai
you need to check that $this->data is not empty when adding a building

been a while since I used 1.3 but I just baked a project after updating
my base of 1.3

I put you code in first without validation in the model (my view were
baked too)

I have not trouble editing buildings or adding new entries (after the
change on the if state of the add method - guess that was typo which is
why  baking is soo nice)

next I added the validation code.

I am not sure what your exact setup is for the buildings table or the
intended purpose of each field.
I see the identifier to my thinking this looks like your making an seo
friendly retrival field (if so look at the various slug behaviours out
there CakeDC Utils or Deuromark Tools plugins)

I see that in your views you are hard setting some stuff (certainly not
something I would do)

I am happy to give your actual sql setup a whirl if you like.

Also someone may well spot something I have missed

(I did not encounter that issue with the edit action)

I was hoping to see the sql and the problem model & controller
with the code being in bin.cakephp.org or github gist

have you got debug on in your app?
have you got debug_kit? its a must really

when you get an isssue with some controller action you can use
$this->log($aVartoDebug, 'file-to-save-it-in');
this will make a log file in tmp/logs and put the value of the first arg

also is you have a controller working comparing it with the one that
does not is very helpful.

Overall though taking some time to complete the blog tutorial and redo
it adding more
will teach  you much.

setting up bake will save you from many annoying human error typos and
save lots of time.
Its or so very easy to setup

finally if you are starting out why start with 1.3 when you could just
start with 2.0?

have you got debug_kit? its a must really

when you get an isssue with some controller action you can use
$this->log($aVartoDebug, 'file-to-save-it-in');
this will make a log file in tmp/logs and put the value of the first arg

also is you have a controller working comparing it with the one that does not is very helpful.

Overall though taking some time to complete the blog tutorial and redo it adding more
will teach  you much.

setting up bake will save you from many annoying human error typos and save lots of time.
Its or so very easy to setup

finally if you are starting out why start with 1.3 when you could just start with 2.0?

you need to check that $this->data is not empty when adding a building

been a while since I used 1.3 but I just baked a project after updating
my base of 1.3

I put you code in first without validation in the model (my view were
baked too)

I have not trouble editing buildings or adding new entries (after the
change on the if state of the add method - guess that was typo which is
why  baking is soo nice)

next I added the validation code.

I am not sure what your exact setup is for the buildings table or the
intended purpose of each field.
I see the identifier to my thinking this looks like your making an seo
friendly retrival field (if so look at the various slug behaviours out
there CakeDC Utils or Deuromark Tools plugins)

I see that in your views you are hard setting some stuff (certainly not
something I would do)

I am happy to give your actual sql setup a whirl if you like.

Also someone may well spot something I have missed

(I did not encounter that issue with the edit action)

If you are new to CakePHP then you need to read through the book a couple of times before jumping into a project.  Bake some seperate projects and look at the code produced, if you're having problems with basic CRUD functions then they are all done for you when you bake.
